My computer keeps randomly shutting down. At first I figured it was an overheating thing, but it's in a completely open space on it's side with a fan running on it and it still does it.

I ran malwearbytes and it came up clean. I was told to run a registry cleaner but before it can finish the scan my computer will shut off. It'll shut off almost instantly if I start up in safe mode.

It's seems as long as I am not doing anything significant it's fine. I haven't tried opening anything other than the internet and the registry cleaner though.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

the only definite way to get rid of a power supply problem is to replace the entire unit (you can open it up and replace bits yourself if you feel so inclined, but I can't be held responsible if you die), but you may end up just ruling out a power supply issue.

also what processor is it? that vcore is nasty for some chips too. series would be enough but if you can give model (maybe even stepping) too that would be even better
